Spirit Reconnections
I love rain. Well, Summer rain I like. Winter rain that lingers with a gray sky for days not so much. Rain is peaceful for sleep. Even with booming thunder, I sleep wonderfully in the rain. Take a few minutes today, to get out in nature. Rain or shine, spending some time outdoors will ground…

Lighten Up
Emotions are high and humans are worried. Maybe we should lighten up a bit. Let’s try to remember what makes us laugh. Let’s do things to bring joy to ourselves. Let’s spend some time watching children’s shows. Better yet, if you know a toddler, spend some time playing make believe games with them. You be…

Slow Saturday
I am loving today and the slowness of the afternoon. Rest and love abound. Sometimes you have to stop and just breathe. Don’t think about the next day, week, or even the next moment. Breathe.

Change
Life changes so fast. In a blink or a millisecond your entire world can shift under your feet. Humans can’t predict every change. We just have to learn to be flexible in our hearts, minds and life. Expect the unexpected.

Are you doing ok?
Let’s take this Monday to think about how we are really mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Listen to your inner most part. Don’t neglect what is important to your survival. Once you have taken care of you, then focus on the humans who are important to your life. You can’t help anyone if you lack…
